Copilot in Outlook: Meeting Preparation Is About to Get Smarter

on
Currently, the “Prepare for meetings with Copilot” feature requires at least three participants. Starting mid-October, this is changing. Copilot will soon support all meetings, including 1:1s. The rollout will begin in mid-October and is expected to complete by November 2025 according to the message center. With this update, you’ll also see new real-time insights in the Outlook meeting event form, summarizing relevant context, tasks, documents, and other resources. Plus, you’ll be able to chat with Copilot to confirm action items or better understand meeting goals. The more context Copilot has, the better it works. Meeting series with related emails, shared documents, Teams chats, and previous Copilot transcriptions deliver the richest experience. If your organization limits Copilot to in-meeting use only and deletes content afterward, you’ll miss out on much of this value. Here is a relevant " how to " guide for users.

Reminder: End of support for Classic Teams + New Teams support all account types

on

End of support: Here is a quick reminder to switch to the new Teams if you have not done so yet. End of support is just around the corner, and users will get a pop-up notification when support ends. Current date for end of support is July 1st 2024, but the client will be available for another year, until July 1st 2025. There are some exceptions to this timeline, and they are all documented here: (Link) This would apply to users of VDI infrastructure and unsupported operating systems (Out of date).

All account types supported: One of the benefits of the new client is the support of all account types. Users no longer need one client for business users, and another client for private Teams accounts (Teams for life). The new client will support all account types, and this feature is currently rolling out according to the following roadmap item.
